Our Windsor Park skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Windsor Park starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. Next, the Windsor Park wall takes its first full skim pass.

Coats, drying and the sand

Most later ridging or cracking traces to skipped drying time between coats. Coats built up as needed, a flat sand, edges feathered past the repair, and a raking-light check — the Windsor Park standard. A skim lives or dies by the light — so in Windsor Park we finish to the light.

Windsor Park drywall in context

About Windsor Park

In 1882, the area that is now Windsor Park was owned and farmed by Allan Omand.

Level 5 skim coating in Windsor Park

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Windsor Park where there is critical light, high-gloss or dark paint, or a feature wall that will show every imperfection. It is the highest drywall finish level and the one that holds up under raking light.

Skimming over existing texture

In Windsor Park homes with stipple on the older homes and knockdown on the newer ones, we can skim straight over the existing texture to bring a wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than tearing it out. In Windsor Park it is the faster, cleaner option — and usually the better-value one — versus replacing board.
